We're Number 3!
The MRT has selected their top news stories of 2008, and Jessica's Well gets a mention in the 3rd biggest story of the year, Dean Baldwin Painting.
Company officials failed to disclose that Dean Baldwin Painting owed back taxes to the state of New Mexico. They also failed to disclose the company was facing charges resulting in an Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid at its Roswell facility that led to the arrest of 15 illegal immigrants working there. Both points first came to light within the community on the local blog -- Jessica's Well.
Not to put to fine a point on the bullet we dodged here, shortly after the deal got spiked in April, Dean Baldwin executives plead guilty to hiring illegals and paid out $550,000 in fines, and then in July the company got tagged for $227,353 for back wages and fringe benefits.
We're happy for the Hat-Tip.

Well done.
I needed a caveat earlier. Congrats , however you ( and I suppose I , by association ) are STILL hate-mongering Aginers with steel sphincters . Constantly carping and won't EVEN give your REAL NAMES so the rest of us can have our kids egg your houses !
You're still MEAN !
The only reason you got the mention at all was because Ospurt has friends at the paper !
Bunch'a MEANIES ! AGINERS !
(This is where Stu pidasso sings.)
I guess I can't argue about having friends at the paper. Shep and I are celebrities thanks to Jimmy the P.
Well Done,
Keep up the good work - you know you are having success when the city starts spending tax monies to hire consulting firms in order to combat your blog. LOL
People deserve wealthy life and credit loans or just car loan will make it much better. Just because people's freedom is based on money state.
You EARNED it ! This was the only source where people actually figured out the emperor had no clothes ! Congrats !
